	Intro
	Scene	Nils is looking after Ella's garden while she is on vacation, and he has noticed that her weather house does not work properly. He explains to Finchen that when it is sunny, the woman in the summer outfit will come out of the house, and when it rains the man in the raincoat will come out. Finchen can't see what the problem is until Nils tells her that the sun is shining but the man in the raincoat is outside the house. Nils goes to fetch some tools. In the meantime, Finchen wonders why the guy in the raincoat is outside.
	Scene	All of a sudden Finchen finds herself outside the weather house and the figures have come alive. Finchen asks the rainman, who has introduced himself as Hannes, why he is standing outside. He tells Finchen that he wants to be outside when the sun is shining. Froni, the woman in the summer clothes, starts arguing with Hannes about who should be outside. Finchen manages to convince Hannes that he should stay inside until it starts to rain, so he and Froni switch places.
	Scene	Finchen is happy now that the weather house is working again; the sun is shining and Froni is outside. However, Froni admits that she is tired of standing outside in the sun; she really wants to see what it is like to stand outside in the rain. Finchen comes up with an idea: she suggests that they switch clothes; that way, they can do the other one's job, and Nils won't think that the weather house is broken. Hannes and Froni think it's a good idea, so they switch clothes and start a song.
	Scene	Nils returns with his tools to fix the weather house. Finchen manages to stop him and tells him that the house is not broken. Nils tells Finchen that it's the figure in the rain coat that is standing outside and the sun is still shining, so the house is broken, but then it starts to rain.
